Installation problem on Synology aarch64

[geimist]

I have been using dateparser on Synology systems for some time. Mostly it is x86_64 CPUs where it works fine. But now there are problems with the installation in an aarch64 environment. We specifically tried it with a lower version (1.0.0) for testing, but unfortunately without success.

Where is the problem, or how can I fix it?

Here is the installation log of version 1.0.0:

  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.

It seems like an issue installing backports.zoneinfo, so not about Dateparser itself.

Either use Python 3.9+ (where that package is not needed) or find out what the issue is (maybe you are using Alpine?)

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I had almost suspected that. backports.zoneinfo could not be installed manually either. The fact that it is not needed with Python 3.9 may help me. It is a probit Linux in Synology Diskstation Manager.

Worked fine with Python 3.9. Thanks again.
